DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A driving support apparatus for a hybrid vehicle including an engine and a motor, in which the engine starts running when any one of parameters indicating a state of the hybrid vehicle reaches an engine start threshold set for the parameters, the driving support apparatus comprising:
- a current value acquiring section that acquires current values of the parameters;
a margin calculation section that calculates margin levels for the current values of the parameters for keeping the engine stopping using the current values of the parameters and the engine start thresholds; and
an output section that outputs the smallest margin level of the calculated margin levels.
